17.105.060 Procedure for Approval and Effect of Approval.

The MHP and RVP approval process will take place in three (3) stages: pre-application review; review of preliminary plan; and final approval. MHP and RVP projects may be developed in phases, subject to an approved phasing schedule.

(1) Pre-Application Review. The pre-application plans of the proposal must be submitted to the Director of Community Development for review and comment. Such potential problems as drainage, topography, circulation, site design, and neighborhood impact should be identified and addressed before the proposal is submitted for preliminary review.

(2) Review of Preliminary Plans.

(a) Application Requirements. The applicant must submit the following material:

(i) a reproducible preliminary plan showing all information required for a preliminary plat by PCC 13.80.080. The plan must clearly show all proposed MH lots and RV sites, structures, common areas and facilities, yard setbacks, and circulation elements including walkways, bike paths and parking, in sufficient detail to show relationships between these elements;

(ii) all information required for preliminary review of a subdivision by PCC 13.80.060;

(iii) a map of the surrounding area in sufficient detail to show existing uses within 300 feet from all project boundaries;

(iv) explanatory material describing the characteristics of the project and the planned construction schedule for the project; and

(v) a landscape plan drawn to scale which may be combined with the site plan showing all existing and proposed vegetation including vegetation to be removed, and any fences, walls, walks and other landscaping improvements.

(b) Review by Site Plan Review Committee. Applications must be reviewed and deemed complete by the SPRC prior to setting a public hearing date before the Commission. SPRC’s conditions will be included in the Commission’s recommendation to the Council.

(c) Planning Commission and City Council Review. The Commission will make recommendations and the Council will review the proposal as contained in the preliminary plan under the provisions of PCC 17.180.030 and 17.180.040.

(d) Review Criteria. The Commission and Council will review the preliminary application for conformity with the Comprehensive Plan, this Title, Chapters 13.80 and 13.90 PCC as now existing and in accordance with any amendments that may hereafter be made thereto, and the following additional criteria:

(i) compatibility with existing and planned land uses in the vicinity; and

(ii) adequacy of assurances that the MHP or RVP will be developed as presented in the application.

If the development calls for the construction of the MHP or RVP in phases, then the reasonableness of the schedule of phasing will be considered. Each completed phase must independently of other phases of the development plan satisfy the development regulations of the approved MHP or RVP plan.

(e) Effect of Preliminary Approval. The preliminary plan as approved or approved as modified by the Council will be binding as to the general intent and apportionment of land for structures and buildings, stipulated use, circulation pattern, and conditions of approval, but must not be construed to render inflexible the ultimate design, specific uses, or final plan of the MHP or RVP. Once the preliminary plan is approved by Council, the SPRC will review and approve construction plans based on conditions of Council approval.

(f) Denied Preliminary Application. If the Council denies a proposal contained in a preliminary application, a similar proposal for the site may not be submitted for one (1) year. A new preliminary application which varies materially from the denied proposal as determined by the Director of Community Development, or one that satisfies the objections stated by the Council, may be submitted at any time.

(3) Final Approval.

(a) Final Plan. Within three (3) years after approval of the preliminary proposal by the Council, the applicant must submit a final development plan to the Director of Community Development for approval by the Council. The Director of Community Development will review the plan and submit it to the Council. This plan must contain final and precise drawings of all graphic information required by subsection (2) of this section and as preliminarily approved by the Council. The applicant must also submit all covenants, assurances, and any other documentation consistent with the preliminary approval given by the Council.

(b) City Council Review. If the Council finds that the final development plan conforms to the preliminary approval and all applicable conditions thereto, and assurances have been submitted which are satisfactory to the Council, the Council will approve the plan and its accompanying conditions as an amendment to the Official Zoning Map; and will incorporate by reference all maps, drawings, and other data required to specify the precise land use authorized. This amendatory ordinance must legally describe the boundaries of the approved MHP or RVP and must have the file number of the application. The official file will be maintained by the Department of Community Development and must contain all maps and other documents or exhibits referred to or incorporated in the amendatory ordinance. The City Clerk or Director of Finance and Administrative Services must record the ordinance with the County Auditor if no subdivision plat is to be recorded. The MHP and RVP must be identified on the Official Zoning Map by the suffix “MHP” and “RVP,” respectively, attached to the zone designation for the underlying district (e.g., C3-MHP) and reference must be made to the amendatory ordinance number.

(c) Effect of Approval. The provisions of the amendatory ordinance must be restrictions on the use and design of the site. Adoption of the amendatory ordinance must not alter the underlying zone classification for the site but will only allow development to occur in a different way consistent with the underlying zoning. Repeal of approval or abandonment as provided in this Chapter will eliminate all requirements imposed by an approved MHP or RVP plan and will cause the previous underlying zoning regulations to be exclusively operative.

(d) Expiration. If the applicant does not submit the final development plan to the Director of Community Development within the time allowed, or if the Council does not approve the final plan, the preliminary approval will expire and be of no further validity. The Council will act on a final development plan for an MHP or RVP within 90 days of its submission to the Council.

(e) Extension. Under the procedure described in PCC 17.175.050(2) the applicant may file an application for an extension of time within the time allowed for submitting the final development plan, along with the fee as set by Council resolution. The Director of Community Development may approve a single one (1) year extension by making a written finding that there is no material change in the proposal, and that the findings and conclusions of the preliminary approval still apply. (Ord. 25-08 §1 (Att. A), 2025; Ord. 87-9 §1, 1987).

An applicant who intends to subdivide land for transfer as part of an MHP or RVP project must obtain subdivision approval in accordance with Chapter 13.80 or 13.90 PCC before any building permit or authorization to begin construction is issued, and before any portion of the property is transferred. The preferred method is for the applicant to process the subdivision application concurrently with the MHP or RVP proposal. (Ord. 25-08 §1 (Att. A), 2025; Ord. 87-9 §1, 1987).

17.105.080 Changes to Approved Projects.

An MHP or RVP will be used and constructed only as approved. Any change in or expansion of an MHP or RVP, except as provided in this section, will be applied for and processed in the same manner as an original application. Minor changes in plans or specifications may be allowed by the Director of Community Development under the procedure of PCC 17.175.050(2) at the time a building permit is issued. Minor changes are those which may affect the precise dimensions or placement of buildings, but which do not affect the basic character or arrangement of buildings or MH lots or RV sites approved in the final development plan, nor the density of the development or the open space requirements. (Ord. 25-08 §1 (Att. A), 2025; Ord. 05-12 §7, 2005; Ord. 87-9 §1, 1987).

17.105.090 Repeal or Extension of Approval and Reversion to Underlying Zone.

(1) City Review. If a condition of approval is violated or not met within the time set for its completion, the Council may, either on recommendation of the Director of Community Development or on its own motion, hold a public meeting to consider the question of the repeal or extension of the final approval and any permits granted pursuant thereto. During this or a subsequent public meeting, the Council may by ordinance repeal or extend the approval and any permits, or may change the terms of approval. Nothing in this section will limit the repeal of building permits, issuance of stop work orders, or other similar procedures authorized by other provisions of this Title.

(2) Reversion to Underlying Zoning. If upon the expiration of two (2) years from the adoption of the amendatory ordinance of approval, the MHP or RVP development project is voluntarily abandoned or development has not been completed, the final approval of the development project will automatically expire and thereafter only the land use regulations of the underlying zoning district will apply to any further construction for which a permit is required. If the MHP or RVP development project has been commenced within a two (2) year period following the effective date of the amendatory ordinance, but is not completed within this two-year period, the applicant must apply to the Council for an extension of time in which to complete the project; failure to make such application must cause the final approval of the development project to automatically expire and thereafter only the land use regulations of the underlying zoning district must apply to any further construction for which a permit is required. (Ord. 25-08 §1 (Att. A), 2025; Ord. 03-33 §40, 2003; Ord. 87-9 §1, 1987).
